Family Guy is chock full of lessons. But while watching a rerun, from a few years ago, last night of “Peter’s Daughter,” I remembered a really important one: When it comes to jokes, if someone says “it’s too soon,” it’s usually not that it’s too soon; it’s just that you’re¹ not funny. Like any episode [...]

NYC Prey School

Underwhelmed by last night’s SYTYCD, I sorted through my go-to-channels (Discovery, NatGeo and Animal Planet). At any given moment, there is a show on at least one of those channels featuring adventurists gone wild, seemingly begging for a no-casket-death and poking at the fragile human/wildlife balance. I found “Lion Feeding Frenzy.” The premise? Well, you [...]

I guess it’s just the facts of life. You take the good, you take the bad, you add them both, and there you have the facts of life. Yeah, the facts of life. And the facts are that kids are mean. You know it. I know it. It’s no small wonder. They mock and tease [...]

For hefty compensation, I have leased this space to PepsiCo. today. The following is a statement from its Senior VP of Marketing. _____________________________________________ Dear customer, By now, I’m sure you’ve seen Pepsi’s latest endeavor in the beverage-for-pleasure market.

Why, hello there. Good Monday morning, to ya. Today is a day of firsts. It is the first time (since almost a year ago) I walked out of my house at 8 am and it was approximately 70 degrees. Also, I’m guest-blogging for the first time in ever. Yep I am. So, you should go [...]

Jersey. We don’t pump our own gas (it’s illegal). We have the driest wit in America. We lovingly self-deprecate more times a day than you probably say words with the letter “e” in them. Want proof? The governor asked the citizens to create and vote for the state slogan. You know what won? ”New Jersey, [...]

Morgan Spurlock parlayed his Super Size Me fame and indie-film-street-cred into a number of really challenging adventures on 30 Days, a show on FX. Every episode is a new venture into lifestyle immersion. One of my favorite episodes is the premiere: Minimum Wage. Spurlock and his special lady friend had to live on minimum wage [...]

an apology (postdated 01.24.09). We are really, really sorry. It’s not you; it’s us. See, it all started early in 2000. We fell asleep, let our system of government be appropriated and yadda, yadda, yadda, we woke up bruised and confused. It wasn’t until about a year ago that we realized what we’d done. We [...]
